Created attachment 253336 [details] Standard Mylyn notifications suffering from some of the same problems The attached screenshot shows that standard Mylyn notifications also suffer from the problem of too light foreground colors, but not from the problem of a dark gray background.
Moving this to Mylyn Commons since this affects the use APIs of Mylyn. What are your houghts? Will Mylyn Commons investigate how to render popups in a readable way for dark theme users? Or is there a workaround?
This is planned for Mars. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 438817 ***
After investigation, the problem is that the background colour of the notifications is inherited and this prevents the theme's background colour from being applied. We're considering changing the background mode to not inherit as this seems to fix the problem on Windows at least. I'm not sure why the error report notification has a grey background but I assume you're creating a custom control with the background mode not set to inherit?
(In reply to Sam Davis from comment #4) > creating a custom control with the background mode not set to inherit? That's certainly true. We'll inherit the background (it's just using a SWT.INHERIT style flag in the constructor I guess).
Marcel, there's a fix available from the weekly update site http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/snapshots/weekly if you want to confirm that it works for the error notifications.
See my comment on bug 438817. I think we will have to revert the fix.
Thanks for the heads up. FWIW, I'm happy with the best Mylyn can offer. I just have to make sure we behave the same as Mylyn.
